How a New Papa Handles the
BabV

Everybody has seen new papa trying
to manage his primal offspring in street
car. The more primal it happens to be
the harder it is to manage.
If papa is the sort of man he ought to
be- his chief ambition is to prevent his
fellow passengers from getting on to the
fact that he is new in the business. He
particularly desires to pass for veteran

overlooks the fact that he is only an ANA.

eyed conductor from collecting fare
Then, when papa dares to disagree with

lights of baby farming suddenly material.
ize and become distinctly visible to the
naked eye.
With an intellectual whoop that causes
the sad looking passenger on the rear
platform to drop his cigar from between
his lips, baby throws itself fiat on its back
on papa's knee and shoots out like tele-
scope. It's dear little head plays the great
battering-ram act on dyspeptic looking
passenger on papa's right, and it's cut
little toOtsies get tangled up in the rea
point lace worn by supercilious youn
lady on papa's left. It's darling littl
hands are, of course, tangled up in papa
whiskers. And all the time baby is wall
ing high and heartless air from the lat
est opera.
Of course, every eye in the car is fixed
upon papa, and he suddenly becomes
aware of the fact that he is making his
tory.
So is baby.
By the time the little darling has kicked
a hundred dollars worth of lace off the
aristocratic dress, and loosened most of
the digestive apparatus of the victim of
dyspepsia, papa has succeeded in once
more getting hold of the thread of the
argument
He seems to hesitate between tossing
his burden out of the car window and
stuffing it under the seat. His face is about
the color of healthy lobster, and q wild
yearning to 60 off somewhere and die
and become glorious care-free angel has
laid violent hands on him. But, through
it all, he never for moment loses sight of
the fact that he is parent.
The lady won't let him.
At last he rises in brOken-hearted wsy,
stumbles over the feet of everybody in
the car, and, in sheer desperation, stops
the car and conducts the remainder of
his kindergarten on foot. But, through it
all, he is, of course, delirIously happy.
He certainly looks like 1t Rehoboth

A BRIGHTER DAY.

1t is an Old but truthful saying: "God
made the country and man made the
town." And the greatest and wealthiest
cities in the United States to day are
natural advantages whatever, but in fact,
were located in mud, mire and malaria.
1t was through the combined efforts of
man continued time and time
again until every natural OBJ
stacle was overcome that have
made New York, Chicago and st.
Louis, the great and magnificent cities of
this continent, and the admiration of
every American citizsn. Austin's greatest
drawback, in becoming business city, is
its manifold natural advantages. Most of
our citizens are not ambitious to make
money fast, or on large scale, but salts
fed with slow accretion of their wealth,
and, pleased with what nature has done
for this town, have, for many years, kept
apart from each other, and have but sell
dom realized the power of good to q city
by the combined efforts of its most intel
ligent and representative men. The
general dullness of business all over the
country has had its effect on Austin for
some time past and it has finally awak-
ened our people to combined action.
Those who have lived in Austin for several
years cannot but have noticed the advent
in recent months of an energetic
progressive spirit among some
of our citizens who, heretofore,
attended almost entirely to their own
private affairs and did nothing for the
benefit of the entire community. This
splendid example is being followed by
others until it can be safely said that
there is a brighter day for Austin, whose
dawn can just be seen. A dozen new
enterprises now practically assuming
shape attest this fact. The meeting at
the court house night before last COM
posed of large majority of our best
citizens, and the result there achieved by
the combined efforts of those present,
marks a new era in the advancement of
this city. With Joseph Male as mayor of
Austin all the enterprises, projects and
movements for the welfare of the city will
take on new life, and one after another
will be practically realized, and Austin will
throb with renewed prosperity.

THE EXECUTION.

Whatever disposition there might have
been on the part of the anarchist sympa-
thisers of Chicago to raise trouble at the
time of the execution, when it came to the
test, the criminal element-for crime is
always cowardly-backed down in the
presence of the majesty of the law, and
the righteous indignation of an outraged
people behind it. Notwithstanding all
the dire and bloody threats of
anarchist speakers for months past,
of the dreadful consequences if
the Haymarket assassins were hung, and
the predictions of communist orator
some days ago, that the execution would
result in something worse than the late
civil war, the hanging passed off almost
as quietly as the execution of an ordinary
murderer in a rural town. Ths power of
law, enforced by strong and aggressive

PUBLIC OPINION.

Since the execution, strong public
opinion has developed all over the country,
warmly sanctioning the course pursued
by Governor Oglesby, and applaudipg the
action of the courts in the anarchist cases.
The people now see the dangers they have
escaped by the firm stand taken by
these agencies, and the feeling is one of
thankfulness to Governor Oglesby for
standing up in grave crisis like a man
for justice and the safety of society.
Incidents in various states-little in
themselYes-showt that anarchism is at a
more fearful discount even than before
the execution, and its advocates and sym
pathizers sincerely Ioathed by the great
body of the people. AT Chi
cago it is seriously deliberated
whether to allow the bodies of the
anarchists to be buried in a certain GENE
terry.
In Jersey City, yesterday, tailor who
hung out red flag, bearing an inscrip-
tion of coincidence for the executed an
archists, had his windows smashed by an
indignant crowd, not of capitalists or rich
men, but workingmen. All these are
signs of the real detestation in which an
archism is held by the masses of the peo-
Hle of this country.

POLITICAL DRIFT IN The We 7.

As appears, from this mornings dis
patches, all the counties of Iowa are in,
showing Larrabee, republican, for
governor, is elected by $1,000 ma
jOrity. This Is a republican success,
it is true, but it is, notwithstand-
ing, when all things are considered, one
that is most encouraging to the demo
Gratis. The political record of Iowa for
the last fifteen years shows the people OF
that state are slowly but surely gravi-
tating towards democratic rule. In 1872
Iowa, ont of total vote of 100000, gave
General Grant 6O,OCO majority; in 1880
she gave Garfield $4,000 majority. Since
then the democratic vote has gradually
increased proportionately as the republ!
can decreased, until, in 1884, the state,
out of total vote of 10000, gave Blaine
only 1876 majority, all told.
In last Tuesdays election we find the
republican majority still further re-
duced to $1,000. These facts Justify
the assumption that in the great contest
one year hence, Iowa may be set down as
one of the doubtful states, provided the
change in public opinion progresses to-
ward democracy as surely as it has done
in the past. 1t would not be at all sur
prising if the state went for Cleveland in
1888, Who it IL now admitted, both among
democrats and republicans, will be the
nominee of the democratic party.
Iowa, among the great and populous
states of the northwest, while casting a
bigger vote than Texas, may be cassed as
second or third rate state. But, when
it is considered she is, in some part, a
a representative of the wishes, feelings,
wants and proclivities of the people of the
great and growing west, her political
drift doubles in Importance. There are
signs that the same changes in political
thought and action in Iowa, are, in
fact, taking place throughout the peoples
of the west. Low tariff, free trade ideas,
are undoubtedly at the bottom of the
change. The west is getting sick of pay
ing tribute to the east, and is gradually
attaching itself to the democratic party
as the only means of cutting loose from
the bondage to the east riveted upon the
people by the republican party.

THAT BELGIUM IRON.

1t is interesting to note, in connection
with the letter of Mr.. Meyers, bearing date
January 30, 1886, to Governor Ireland, in
which Belgium iron is roundly con-
demned and Mr.. Wilke censured for
using it, certain conversation that gen
tleman had with the superintendent of
capitol construction, and other gentle
men, when he was in Austin, in October of
the year before. At that time, it is au-
thoritively stated that Mr.. Meyers de-
clared that he considered 1000 pounds of
Belgium iron as equal to 2,240 pounds of
American iron, and that in all future con-
structions he would use Belgium iron.
And, it might also be well to
remember that some time before his let
ter of January 29th, 1886, he had signed
an agreement for a change from Ameri-
can to Belgium iron to be used in our
new state house. In the light of this con-
versation and his action in signing the
agreement for the change of iron, the
letter of January 29th, 1886, would seem
to demand some sort of an explanation.

THE ELECTION

The smoke has cleared away and pretty
fair view can now be had of the field, and
of the killed and wounded. Take it all
around Tuesdays election may be classed
as a democratic triumph, as will appear
from the following facts: New York
state has elected Cook, democrat, for
secretary of state, over Fred Grant, re-
publican, by - majority. This is a
very handsome democratic gain, because
Cleveland's majority in the state in 1884
was only 1,O47; Hills, the year following,
was H. 1874, and, last year, Peckham, for
court of appeals, only had 1918 majority.
As was expected, Pennsylvania has
given a republican majority, but, quite
unexpectedly, the democrats register
gain of 10000; Harris majority,
$4,000. This is quite cut down from
previous republican majorities in
Pennsylvania, which, in 1872, gave
Grant, for president, $4,000 majority;
Blaine, three years ago, $1,000, and for
governor last year, $4,000. The demo-
cratic gain in Iowa is significant of the
gradual change of sentiment in the west
towards democratic principles.

somewhat weakened. Then the parents rush
off to get pair of spectacles and oftentlmes
patronize men who will sell them any kind

case, just to get the money. This careless
ness is dangerous and sometimes fatal to the
organs of sight, which are entirely too sensi-
tive to be tried with. The greatest enemy
to the eyes of young men is the cigarette.
Recently a disease has appeared among
smokers which is dangerous, and after care
full investigation the best authorities, who
for a long time were at loss to understand
the peculiar malady, have traced it to the
small paper covered tobacco sticks. 1t is
now known as the cigarette eye and can
be cured only by a long treatment. Its symp-
toms are dimness and a film like gathering
over the eye, which appears and disappears

smoke cigarettes excessively they may ex-

ease; and it is not relieved by spectacles y
